“I am confident that the road to a majority runs through Thom Tillis in North Carolina,” Bush wrote in an email to Tillis supporters.

A candidate must get 40 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s primary to avoid a July runoff in the Tar Heel State. The winner will face Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., in one of the most competitive Senate races of the cycle.

The endorsements do not matter so much as the substance of the candidates. Tillis is little more than Hagan without the skirt, and would have a tough time getting conservative support in November. Tillis is for amnesty for illegal aliens, tried to ram a state Obamacare exchange through the legislature, supports green energy boondoggles, and has an embarassing pay for play record. No wonder the polls have shown him to be the weakest candidate in the GOP field in November matchups with Hagan. If we want to defeat Hagan, we need a different nominee, not Tillis.
